Smokie

Every dream that I dream

Seems to float on by

Like a cloud in the wind

Way up in the sky.

Every move that I make

Seems to be the wrong way

Like a cold black night

After a summer's day.

What can I do?

What can I do?

Nothing's the same as it used to be...

Nothing's the same as it used to be...

What can I do?

It was only a winter's tale

Just another winter's tale.

Why should the world take notice

Of one more love thats fail.

It's the love that could never be

Though it meant to love to you and me

On the world wide scale

With just another winters tale.

The nights are colder now

Maybe I should close the door.

Anyway the snow is covered all your foot steps

And I can follow you no more.

The fire still burns at night

My memories are warm and clear.

But everybody knows

It's hard to be alone at this time of year.

Every time you go away,

you take a piece of me with you.

I'll give you every thing I can.

I'll build your dreams with these two hands.

We'll hang some memories on the walls.

And when there's silver in your hair,

You won't have to ask if I still care,

'Cus as the time turns the page,

my love won't age at all.

And when you're bitten by the truth,

You blame it on your mis-spent youth,

You never seem to learn by your mistakes.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,

Wild wild angels on the skyways,

Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,

'Cos it's people like you who never knew,

What wild wild angels have to face.

Such simple things you fail to see,

You take back everything you ever give.

I hear voices all singing,

But no one's there...

It's the ghost of my life,

Bringing past tense to mind.

Lock and key here ties me

From the freedom and sin.

Now some men like the fishin',

and some men like the fowlin',

And some men like ta hear, a cannon ball a roarin',

Me I like sleepin',

specially in my Molly's chamber.
